On Wednesday, March 8, His Eminence Archbishop Anoushavan, Prelate, received the visit of Canadian-Armenian bass-baritone Vartan Gabrielian at the Prelacy headquarters.
The young singer, who is a graduate of the Canadian Opera Company, has amassed an impressive resume, having participated in many international competitions and taken various roles in Canada, the United States, and Europe. A deacon of the Armenian Church, his musical interests were spurred by Bishop Meghrig Parikian, of blessed memory, at the time when he was pastor of St. Mary Church in Toronto.
